It's been proposed as one - because, according to dlehman, the encryption isn't actually relevant; it seems the issue will affect any system which has an mdraid partition on upgrade. > > > > As far as 'should there be a test case' - well, it's kind of a tricky > > question: there are essentially unlimited permutations when it comes to > > filesystem layout, and we can't have a test case for*every single one*, > > especially not a test case that must be done for the release to proceed. > > There'd be no harm at all in you drawing up a test case for this > > scenario, but whether we should add it to the matrices and especially > > whether we should mark it as Final (indicating it has to be completed > > for the release to ship) is a more difficult question. > > Your test matrix already includes RAID and encryption but not together. Yes - it has, what, a hundred or so tests? Most of those could be combined with at least one of the others...you don't need to be able to do the math very precisely to realize that we can't, practically speaking, have a test case for *every possible combination* :) > The problem post-release is that how do I upgrade?
